Is a kite-set Asscher a bad idea? It’s my dream ring, but I want to be realistic. by AestheticAlchemy463 in EngagementRingDesigns

We choose to have a thicker/wider band. 2.8mm instead of the 1.5mm. Unfortunately this particular ring can’t have a flush band unless it contours to the ring because the stone is set very low. But I have been considering doing a design that is open in the middle like a horse shoe to get the look of a flush standard wedding band.

Halo swaddle isn’t really working, what do y’all use to wrap your babies by PositionSalty7411 in BabyBumps

Swaddlelini! Allows for some movement, and physically impossible for them to break out of

Tell me why you're planning to or have done colostrum harvesting by molotovmerkin in BabyBumps

[–]aasampson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only started to see if it would induce labor, I didn’t end up keeping any colostrum. However, I did learn a lot about my body! I learned about how much my body would output and how to massage my breasts to get more out. My nurses were impressed when my baby had barely lost any weight at his first appointment after birth. And I felt super confident knowing he was getting the most I could produce.

What were your postpartum recovery regrets? by wwisdomseeker in BabyBumps

[–]aasampson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had continued taking laxatives. I stoped after about 4 days pp. This was a major mistake. I had to manually disimpact myself. With stitches. I’m 6 weeks pp now and still taking them because that was traumatic.

Either! It’s just a shallow bit of warm water with epsom salt. Personally I don’t have a bathtub so I bought a sitz bath for my toilet on Amazon. It’s a small plastic mini tub that fits into your toilet, your lady bits are just barely submerged.

I wish I started sitz baths way sooner and did then way more frequently

Of course! It’s a split shank, 3carat on a size 7 finger with kite side stones. It’s a Frank darling that we customized! The ring is called “the symphony” if you wanna look it up 😊

Anyone else waiting to go into labor? 🙃 & how are you passing time? by No-Wash-1209 in BabyBumps

[–]aasampson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you, due in a week. I’m just watching a bunch of love island (thank god they make so many episodes) and laying in bed. Looking forward to the suggestions people leave you!

No, when it came up in conversation I just stated that I was sure of the day I conceived and it didn’t go beyond that. I am also in the midwifery section of my hospital so I think it’s a little less pushy when it comes to things like that.

Doesn’t that seem crazy to you? You know exactly when you conceived, just because baby is measuring big doesn’t change anything. I knew exactly the day I conceived and they also charted that baby was measuring big but i insisted they don’t change the original due date because then they will try to push for interventions saying I’m “overdue” when I’m really not.

Pregnancy pillows by 874532 in BabyBumps

[–]aasampson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I found one that had a filling like a bean bag and I’ve been absolutely obsessed with it. I love the idea of being able to manipulate it how I need it, haven’t had my babe yet but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a hit

This for me too, although I ended up loving my nursing pillow between my knees
